Use Bread Bags as Kite Material

Prepare the Bread Bags

Clean and dry the bread bags thoroughly to ensure there is no residue or moisture. This step is crucial for the durability and flight capabilities of the kite.

Cut the Bags

Use scissors to cut the bread bags into flat sheets. Trim off any rough edges and make sure the sheets are of consistent size.

Assemble the Frame

Construct the kite frame using skewers or lightweight wooden sticks. Secure the intersections with string and ensure the frame forms a symmetrical shape.

Attach the Bread Bag Sheets

Lay the cut bread bag sheets over the frame and use tape or glue to attach them to the framework. Ensure the plastic sheets are taut and evenly spread across the frame.

Add the Tail

Create a tail for the kite using leftover plastic strips from the bread bags. Attach these to the bottom of the kite to add stability in flight.

Attach the String

Tie a long string to the frame of the kite at the appropriate balance point. Ensure the knot is secure so the kite can be easily flown.

Test Fly the Kite

Find an open space on a windy day to test fly your bread bag kite. Make any necessary adjustments to the frame or tail to improve flight performance.
